Plans for a £360 million regeneration in Birmingham city centre which developers claim will be the world's first mixed-use net zero carbon project have been unveiled.
Called Curzon Wharf, it would sit on industrial land next to the Dartmouth Circus island and the A38 Aston Expressway and have a range residential accommodation and almost one million sq ft of commercial space.
The overall masterplan contains proposals for a 564-foot building over 53 storeys, making it the city's tallest, with 498 apartments to rent alongside a second 41-storey building with up to 732 student accommodation units.
A third 14-storey building would have 265 units of co-living space.

The scheme also has plans for nearly 130,000 sq ft of office and other commercial space, more 3,000 sq ft of retail space and 15,000 sq ft for leisure uses. There would also be public realm and walking and cycling routes.
The site is currently occupied by industrial buildings which would be demolished to make way for the new scheme should it win the city council's backing.
Birmingham-based developer Woodbourne Group says the project, which would be a short walk from both HS2 and the city centre business district, could create more than 1,000 jobs.

It added that the development was expected to boost the Birmingham economy by at least £151 million, with estimates suggesting it would add £2 million a year in council tax and business rates and attract a new homes bonus of £4 million.
The hybrid plans have been designed after five years of consultation with Birmingham City Council and a team of regeneration and built-environment specialists.
Woodbourne Group's chief executive Tani Dulay said: "Curzon Wharf isn't just a development, it's a manifesto that will position Birmingham as 海角视频's leading smart and sustainable city, helping to pave the way for the 海角视频's Green Revolution. It reinforces Birmingham position as the 海角视频's second city.
"It will act as a catalyst for the wider transformation of the Eastside area where a number of masterplans have been earmarked which otherwise would not be possible.
"It signposts Birmingham's route to delivering transformational change to the city. It will promote social, cultural and economic exchange in a truly transformative urban neighbourhood."
A public consultation has been launched and is running until March 26 - for details and to post comments visit
